Leather Stitching Thread

Our leather stitching thread is designed for hand sewing and leather craft applications that require strength, control and clean stitches.

This collection includes waxed linen and waxed polyester threads in a range of thicknesses and formats, from small cards for individual projects to bulk spools for ongoing production. Suitable for saddle stitch and other hand-stitching techniques, Hemptique threads are trusted by leather crafters for durable seams and consistent results.

Leather hand stitching thread is commonly used for saddle stitch, edge finishing and general leather sewing where thread grip and knot security matter. Waxed thread helps reduce friction through punched holes and keeps stitches neat and even. Both linen and polyester options are available to suit traditional leather work or projects that require added moisture resistance.
